Holidays in the Dubai
Dubai's central business district is divided into two parts - Deira on the northern side and Bur Dubai to the south. Each has its share of fine mosques and busy souks, of public buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks, hospitals, schools, apartments and villas.
In Dubai, the world is encapsulated - restaurants and bars with diverse international themes - outstanding sports facilities including 3 international standard golf-courses - a superb tennis stadium and internationally renowned horse racing courses.Cultures and ethnic diversity abound in a harmonious and safe atmosphere which is the envy of the world.
There are parks and gardens, plus golden sands in abundance - and - by contrast - the drama of the desert. A visit to Dubai is nearly always accompanied by an adventure into the vast desert where the rolling sandscape is both a challenge and an opportunity to experience an extreme environment in the capable hands of professional drivers.In and around Dubai : Camel rides, camel races, gold souks, silver souks and fabrics from around the world.
Barren mountains and remote villages - red sands, yellow sands, oasis and wadis - water-parks and wonderful architecture - Dubai is like no other city in the world - to visit Dubai is to experience both the traditional and the ultra modern - the sophisticated city and the rugged terrain of mountains and desert.
A true adventure which attracts increasing numbers - both on business and in pursuit of a new and exciting holiday destination.The desert is an opportunity to experience an adventure like no other - take a four wheel drive vehicle to spectacular desert terrain where the dunes reach 100 metres and the landscape is at once awesome and picturesque.
Guests enjoy candle-lit suppers in traditional bedouin tents whilst being entertained by exotic belly-dancers. And no trip to the desert would be complete without a camel ride.Water sports in Dubai are truly impressive. On the Jumeirah beach a coral reef has been constructed some 2 kilometres off-shore and diving is just part of a huge range of water based activities.
Sailing, water-skiing and of course swimming are available at numerous locations.Variety is at the heart of the Dubai experience - whether its peace and quiet on secluded beaches - or adventure and challenge on a desert safari - has sufficient depth to satisfy even the most seasoned traveller.
